Get your dancing shoes on, Mackay.
Be Social Fest is back for its second year and is bringing some big names to our region.
After an epic debut in December last year, the music festival will be bringing electronic hip hop heavyweights Hermitude to Mackay, who are sure to blow the pants off Harrup Park with new music and festival favourites.
Middle Kids are no strangers to Mackay and will showcase their endearingly driving indie-rock anthems, and Thundamentals will bust a rhyme or two in what is sure to be a party starting set.
Also on the genuinely stacked, 19-act line-up are the likes of Mashd N Kutcher, Peach PRC, Stellie, Cherry, KLP, and local icons The Stone Apes.
With the support of Mackay Regional Council, Mackay Tourism, and triple j, Festival Director Michael Delaney says Be Social Fest will put Mackay on the Australian music map.
“(It’s an opportunity) to have an event for large Australian artists to perform at what would not normally be on their touring radar and to give the Mackay people a chance to experience, and for local artists to have the chance to network and perform with high performance teams in the chance to get discovered,” he said.
“We can see the support from the community already and we have the vision of growing this into a very large tourist attraction in the years to come and to show off beautiful Northern Queensland and its hot, clear-skied winters near the reef.”
The festival’s objective is to bring together a fun bunch of festival goers to enjoy each other's energy and just BE, and when paired with an epic line-up and Mackay’s tropical winter climate, it’s set to be one hell of a night.
Be Social Fest is held as part of the Mackay Festival of Arts and will take place across two stages at Harrup Park on Saturday, August 6.
The event is 18+ and tickets are on sale now.
